Can you identify these mirrors?https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ffef961c3f.jpg

Google Image Search (right click on image in chrome)

First is Mirrycycle road mirror:

Second seems to be an Ortleib mirror, but the search brings it up on unfamiliar sites.

Now that you know what they are you can search for them on youyr favorite sites or better yet, a local bike shop.

Thanks, BobbyG. You got both. That's a great catch. Providing link to the second product.

Many of these cheap mirrors aren't clear mirrors but plastic reflective surfaces which makes it difficult to discern what is coming up. Some like Hanfy are glass or polished steel, which isn't as high resolution as glass but works ok in the night for lights, but you just have to remember to turn your head to make sure! haha

2nd one I have 2 of on 2 diff bikes, you are not going to see clearly on anything on any bike mirror, good enough for seeing some kind of vehicle is behind you

I've used this Blackburn road mirror for over 10yrs.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4abf48a655.jpg
It fits over hood and secures w/velcro strap. I don't notice the extra layer when cycling. It stays firmly in place and uses a glass mirror so I can spot vehicles 1/2mi away in good conditions.

I did try to get a eyeglass mount (take-a-look) to work for me several times, but always with some personal problem. I find the bar mirror works better for me as I don't need to twist my head around to scan behind me and can just glance in mirror without changing position.
